Hi Terry thank you. Does take a little bit of sorting out and you might find it easier with pattern of float. It’s something I do get asked in the shop and it’s something that will make a difference. So my plan is to do a video and all being well show how it works. But in the meantime If you can picture the float tip as it is an indicator. It will show bites not only as it goes under but as lift bites or as we call them hold ups. The only way you can do this is by using the full length of the float tip. Obviously weather conditions etc etc can and will change this but if we keep simple. Imagine the float tip has three colours yellow first above that red then black. I’d would shot the float with the bulk taking the float so nearly all the yellow has gone. Stage one float set I’d probably have a couple of dropper shot that would take the float to red. Stage two As that final and third dropper settles the float tip will be primed and ready as only the black will be showing. If a fish picked up the bait and effectively swam up thus taking say two drop shot out you’d see the yellow show Lift bite. As you can see there’s quite a bit on this subject. But it’s quite important to use all the float tip. You can only set your floats up to a point at home with fine tuning being done on the bank. Adding or removing trim shot so that all important float tip position works as an indicator. I hope that helps But I will endeavour to do a video on the very subject soon. By all means if you have any more questions please ask 👍
Smaller shot are far from easy to use unfortunately. Have you tried slot shot or styles? They tend to be easier to use as they’re normally softer. Also being an oblong shape they’re easier to handle. 👍
Hi not sure if I can help you with that one. Might be just a hunt around your local shops that sell floristry items as the cylinder is sold as a glass vase here.
Hi could you please tell how i could get a couple of those cards mate , i can't for the life of me work out pole float capacity and shot weights etc ,help confused 🙄
Hay up mate hopefully this will work for you. If you go to this link it will take you to my useful guides. You'll be able to down load print off from there. Cheers Scott stickfloat.wordpress.com/2020/11/23/useful-guides/
Cheers mate will help me a lot just getting back into coarse fishing after a very long time things have changed so much really need videos like yours to catch up with all the latest methods 👍😀
@@SoartackleCoUk I bought my pole of youse a middy muscle tech 6 mtr with a few extra extensions 4 and 4 top kits I bought 2 packs of 3 sensas 1.50 mtr hollow tips and cut them down to suit the bushes for the 3 sizes of middy solid elastics you recommended and use this set up for all my pole silver fishing great kit ,I actually bought another muscle tech 6 for spares , I actually regularly fish it with all the extensions and the butt from the other pole getting me about 11.5 mtrs and not a bother tempted to go longer but can't seem to source spares anymore because I think middy have stopped trading any idea what's happening with them ,anyway sorry for rattling on ,what you think of my setup ?be nice to get an experienced anglers opinion regards owen
Hi mate, Set up sounds good to me. So long as it works for you that is the main thing. Stick to your 11 mtr its more than enough id of thought for most places. You could always chuck a waggler or a small feeder/bomb for your longer line. Sounds like your doing bob on with elastic choice. :-) As for MIddy they are still around. The original owners retired and sold the company. The new owners have annouced they hoping to have everything back up and running in March. They have been posting about stuff on Facebook.
Brilliant, thanks Scott
Very welcome
cheers scott..very informative i wondered what they were
Welcome Mark, and thank you for the comment :-)
Well done great video I was wondering I can never get my rigs to weight up so I can see the tell tail shot settling any tips?

@ thank you for the reply..yes that was a help thanks,I look forward to the video
I put line through & use my kettle to trim my floats in .
Hi,
Where did you get that big glass cylinder ?
Hi mate I got mine from the Range, Id of thought they'd still sell them.
Not being funny but he said twice he got it from the Range for about £6. Why click on a video if you're not going to listen?🤷♂
The smallest shot I can use is a no.8. Anything smaller I find impossible to handle.
Smaller shot are far from easy to use unfortunately. Have you tried slot shot or styles? They tend to be easier to use as they’re normally softer. Also being an oblong shape they’re easier to handle. 👍
Hi,
I'm from another country, how can I buy that cylinder?
Hi not sure if I can help you with that one. Might be just a hunt around your local shops that sell floristry items as the cylinder is sold as a glass vase here.
Hi,
Where can you buy that cylinder ?
I got mine from the Range sometime ago pretty should they still sell them.
Should be in there home section with the candle etc
How do I get mate
Hi mate. We have them in the shop or they're available through our shop website.

Thanks for the video. I make my rigs up using a Rigmate and check them directly in my water butt. (Obviously, no good for your demonstration)
A water butt is perfect for checking rigs 👍👍

Your very welcome. Top tip in getting back is to keep things simple. Prep at home so your not wasting time on the bank. :-)
